How do I build Perl 5.6.1 on AIX 5.1?

[erulia]

I've got an AIX 5.1 system with gcc 3.2 installed, and I can't get Perl to build. First, when I run ./Configure, the "-qmaxmem" options keeps getting passed to gcc, and gcc does not support that option. Then, when running "make", I get the error:
make: *** No rule to make target `<built-in>', needed by `miniperlmain.o'. Stop.

Any hints? Unix Sys Admin

I did manage to compile perl 5.8 on AIX 5.1 however I did not choose any special options and there were a lot of errors. My solution was to run make twice and there were practically no errors the second time.

Later we secured an IBM distro of 5.8 in .bff format. There is a 5.6.1 .bff on Bulls' freeware site. IBM Certified -- AIX 4.3 Obfuscation
